Hello my followers, today I am going to talk about an architect that I admire a lot, Frei Otto: The father of the tense structures.
Frei Otto was a German architect, design enginneer and winner of the 2015 Pritzker Prize. Frei is known for his tensile architectural designs.
He is famous for his experiments with materials like bubbles, membranes, chais, etc. He trasformed this experiments in amazing proyects of architecture. Some examples of his proyects are:
(1) The central sports stadium of the Munich 1972 Olympic Games.
(2) The West German pavilion.
(3) Tuwaiq Palace.
I like him because he created a new kind of architecture through the material experimentation. Frei Otto opened a world of spaces possibilities in the architecture with shapes never seen before.
Frei Otto is my favorite architect because he created a new way of thinking about construct spaces and buildings and till this day is remembered for that. This is the end my friends, see you in my next Post. bye bye :)
Interesting architecture! i like the space that he created with those tense structures
ResponderEliminarFrei otto it is a very interesting architect, One can see his interests in natural phenomena such as bird skulls, soap bubbles, and spiders' webs as they are translated into man-made forms that appear incredibly delicate and elegant.
